[HTML][HTML] Vagus nerve stimulation and atrial fibrillation: revealing the paradox
RK Kharbanda, WFB van der Does… - … : Technology at the …, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract Background and Objective The cardiac autonomic nervous system (CANS) plays an
important role in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). Cardiovascular disease can
cause an imbalance within the CANS, which may contribute to the initiation and
maintenance of AF. Increased understanding of neuromodulation of the CANS has resulted
in novel emerging therapies to treat cardiac arrhythmias by targeting different circuits of the
CANS. Regarding AF, neuromodulation therapies targeting the vagus nerve have yielded …
